Webinar 2 of 2
May 23, 2019 11:00am-noon 
Separate Yourself from Competitors and Attract Business
 
Recent surveys ranked the top five complaints from decision-makers at matchmaking events. The results state that attendees: 
1. Use generic documents to describe their services and products. 
2. Do not effectively communicate an understanding of what the customers actually need.
3. Fail to clearly differentiate themselves from competition. 
4. Do not understand the importance of working with prime contractors.
5. Do not plan effective follow-up.
 
The May 23rd webinar focuses on addressing each of these complaints with actionable steps to proactively tackle each issue. And prime contractors will also discuss how to get through the door and see measurable work-share.  
 
Key take-aways include:
  • An exact matchmaking pitch that works with the government and primes
  • How to create a tailored capabilities statement addressing the IC community
  • Differentiators that tell a specific story and make a company memorable
  • A results-oriented trackable and measurable follow-up plan 
As with the first webinar, please note that this second webinar will be recorded and made available only to those companies registered for Business in a Minute. Even if you cannot attend this webinar live, still register for access to the recording. And you may share it only with your team members within your own organization.
